Farewell to the Highlands,
farewell to the North,
The birth-place of Valour,
the country of Worth;
Wherever I wander,
wherever I rove,
The hills of the Highlands
for ever I love.
My heart's in the Highlands,
my heart is not here,
My heart's in the Highlands,
a-chasing the deer;
Chasing the wild-deer,
and following the roe,
My heart's in the Highlands,
wherever I go.

Farewell to the mountains,
high-cover'd with snow
Farewell to the straths
and green vallies below
Farewell to the forests
and wild-hanging woods,
Farewell to the torrents
and loud-pouring floods.
My heart's in the Highlands,
my heart is not here
My heart's in the Highlands,
a-chasing the deer
Chasing the wild-deer,
and following the roe,
My heart's in the Highlands,
wherever I go.
